This veggie bowl is a delicious and nutritious meal that’s packed with a variety of flavors and textures. The base of the bowl is made with fluffy brown rice, which provides a source of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, helping you feel full and satisfied. The rice is then topped with roasted squash, chickpeas, onion, microgreens, baby bok choy, and carrots. To bring everything together, the bowl is drizzled with a creamy tahini dressing, which adds richness and depth of flavor to the dish.
